As Christian workers, we are called to strive for excellence and live a healthy life. However, time and energy are limited, and many people live in the frustration of never attaining excellence at work and in their personal lives. Unfortunately, many people inevitably attend to one well and end up losing the other. They are excelling in their job and making great progress for the company they are working for, but they neglect their spouses and children. Or they have a thriving family life but are missing critical tasks at work. Perhaps there is a different way. Is it possible to strike a balance between work and life? How do you practically do this to attain balance? The answer may surprise you, and you will find it in this book.
